Why Manic Pixie?

Individualized Approach

You want help that is individualized, not one-size-fits-all. Maybe unconventional. Maybe in virtual reality!You want to communicate openly and freely in a safe space for unsafe topics. You want to connect meaningfully with someone who will treat you with compassion and offer gentle candor.For example, if you've ever wanted to know someone's honest impression of you, just ask!

Empathetic Coaching

I am open-minded, empathetic, and sex positive.I'm relatable. I'm not the sort of life coach who wakes up at 5am to do yoga. I'm just not that person.I know the struggle is real. I can vouch for a lot of my tips and tricks because, as someone who is neurodivergent I use them myself!Please know you probably can't offend or TMI me. I'm passionate about free expression.

Support Beyond Sessions:
Much More Than What You See

You are supported far beyond what you receive in appointments. Though I work independently, I have teamed up with other professionals in order to offer you diverse experiences and perspectives. I also offer unique supports that go above the standard of life coaching.

Team-based care

After every session, I conduct case discussions with a team of professionals. These professionals include a licensed physician and a fellow life coach. You'll have the benefit of their insights and expertise* in addition to mine.

*Disclaimer: This is a complementary support that is for informational purposes only and is not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment. Always seek advice from your physician or other qualified healthcare provider before undertaking a new health regimen.

Unique supports

Other complementary supports include:Direct messages, Accountability Journal-reading, and chat during my Livestreams.For more information, see the FAQ.

Get to know me

Hi my name is Aviva!
I enjoy gaming, dancing, and feeding chickadees.
Hey and for whatever it's worth, I'm a neurodivergent, mixed-race double-immigrant. Not that it matters, but maybe you'll find that helpful?

It's a free coaching call valued at $30 USD where you can meet me and see if I am a good fit for you as a life coach. This is your chance to ask me any questions you have, get advice, and sign up if you are ready to get started.

If you're not ready to sign up, that is completely fine! (You can say, "I'll think about it.”) I can still send you some resources and refer you to other supports. For example, maybe MC Mentoring is more your style.

The current available platforms are Discord, Google Meet, and VRChat*.

*Note that VRChat can be accessed through Steam and does not require virtual reality gear.

While VRChat is not a therapeutic device, virtual reality facilitates enhanced self-expression, environmental control, and opportunities to practice social skills in contexts with real people.

Sessions are action-oriented and solution-focused. The style is pretty free flowing and conversational. I will learn about your challenges, then work with you to develop concrete recommendations to address them. We’ll wrap up by reviewing your priorities and establishing a plan of action.

Depends on your goals and needs. Achieving a simpler goal, such as getting started on a new habit you’ve already been considering, may take only two or three sessions. More complex goals, such as navigating the world of relationships or adjusting your self-concept, will take more sessions than that.

As often as you'd like! Weekly is fairly standard, although meeting more often can be additionally beneficial in certain circumstances. I also have clients who book relatively infrequently, according to their needs. It’s totally up to you. I’ll be here!

The 30 min fee-FREE session is valued at $30 USD but is offered without charge. Prices are listed on the booking page. Click on a specific appointment type to see the price.

PayPal. However, I am open to setting up other payment methods. If PayPal is a non-option for you, please let me know!

Yes! I offer complementary support beyond sessions.

Direct messages: You can occasionally shoot me a message if you have a quick question, need extra support, or if we’ve agreed for you to update me on a particular topic. That said, you can message me at any hour. I use Do Not Disturb; you won’t wake me.

Journal-reading: To make sessions more efficient, some people like to share a Google Document with me. This allows us to spend less time catching up and more time actively problem-solving. You can share a journal, notes, or a running commentary of your thoughts on a topic. As a guideline, time spent reading should approximate no more than 10 mins. This complementary support is offered to people who book weekly.

Livestreams: You can also connect with me when I livestream on Twitch! My streams share my own self-improvement journey as I practice and demonstrate dancing with confidence.
